Overview
The Ubiquiti UniFi Enterprise Audio/Video Fiber switch is engineered for high-performance AV environments that demand deterministic synchronization and massive throughput. This 1U rack-mountable device delivers a robust switching capacity of 800 Gbps with non-blocking performance, making it ideal for professional broadcast, live events, and fixed installation systems. By integrating an industry-leading OCXO clock and offering optional GPS grandmaster input via the SMA port, the EAV-FIBER ensures precise timing required by SMPTE ST 2110, SDVoE, and AES67 protocols.
Built for reliability in critical infrastructure, this model includes dual hot-swappable power supplies and four redundant fan modules to maintain continuous operation. The switch supports Etherlighting on both SFP+ and QSFP28 ports, allowing the chassis itself to serve as a visual status indicator through connected lighting elements. Managed seamlessly through the UniFi Network Application, it provides Layer 3 capabilities including inter-VLAN routing, static routing, and advanced security features like 802.1X control and MAC-based ACLs.
Description
The EAV-FIBER combines high-speed connectivity with professional audio-visual synchronization standards in a single compact chassis. With 20 SFP+ ports for flexible fiber or copper connections and two QSFP28 uplinks capable of 100 Gbps, it serves as the backbone for modern AV networks. Key benefits include hardware timestamping on all ports for sub-microsecond accuracy, support for thousands of VLANs to segment traffic efficiently, and a touchscreen LCM display for quick local status checks. The unit is fully NDAA compliant and designed to handle complex multicast streams with advanced IGMP configuration.
